This video is titled ‘Cash Flow’ as it is a shot of a revolving door that leads you to and exits you from Crown Casino. The caption signifies the number of people that enter and leave Crown as there are constantly people coming and going, just like cash flow.
How did you author (the photo or video) you recorded for upload to Instagram?
My recording was taken all in one go, the ‘start-stop touch’ feature is new to me so I would not know how to use it, meaning that it is definitely something to look into for my next blog post. The final shot was actually my first shot, I am happy with it, the only thing I would change is to have myself holding the camera more steadily, but I am not a photographer so I am sure there are many more things that could be tweaked that I am not seeing. During editing, I set the filter to X-Pro II to make the setting look darker and more of a cold evening rather than a sunny late afternoon, I also turned down the effect to 65 (out of 100) so it looked more realistic. The audio in this video is muted as it is a busy night and all that is heard in the background is loud talking and traffic. I used the ‘cover’ feature on Instagram and I chose the last frame to be the cover of this video as it is the most centred part of the video and it is the frame with the least amount of people walking through.
How did you publish (the photo or video) you recorded for upload to Instagram?
I recorded only one time before uploading so my curation process was limited to just the one video, therefore, it was an easy pick. Next week I will experiment with multiple recordings to try out different angles and such since there was only one video to select the curation process was quite simple. I put the location in when uploading the video with the caption “cash flow”. I chose this caption because these revolving doors are one of the entrances/exits to Crown Casino. This video is set to play automatically.
How did you distribute (the photo or video) you published on Instagram to other social media services?
I firstly distributed it again on my Twitter account I made for the sole purpose of posting photos and videos of doors, the handle is @doorsabout. The caption for the shared Instagram post is “CHECK OUT MY LATEST POST… CASH FLOW” I will be captioning every shared post with the same template as when people view the post they will know what the post is about, who it is from and what they should expect from the post just from the use of repetition. In the future I might add in some hashtags, I am not familiar with Twitter so I will have to explore it in more depth before my next post.

The next social media I shared my video post to was Tumblr. I hadn’t used Tumblr since I was about 14 before creating a new account for my door posts. Although I am familiar with the application, I am still learning the best ways to market a post. The blog name of the Tumblr account is ‘Doortingz’, which is a play on the memes in popular culture. I didn’t caption this shared post at all but I know that a lot of posts are found through the use of hashtags, so in this post, I included the hashtags “#doors #door #revolvingdoor #casino #crown #cash #flow #cashflow #nighttime #money #entrance #exit “.
